Summary of the best star-watching places

Choose mountain or seaside.

How to choose a place to observe meteor showers? Chen Huabiao said that it is best to choose a dark and wide place, and the inland top of the mountain is the best choice. Qingyuan Mountain and Dapingshan Mountain in the urban area are not suitable because of serious light damage. He suggested choosing Niu Shan, Jiuxian Mountain, Yongchun Snow Mountain and Tianzhu Mountain in Nan 'an.

Remember to choose a place far away from the light damage of the city, a place where there are no tall buildings around, or a remote seaside. Please pay attention to mosquito bites and personal safety when going out to watch meteors. If you observe in mountainous areas or high altitude areas, you should also pay attention to catching cold and observe the ups and downs of cliffs and tides.

Best stargazing posture

Lying on the mat is the most comfortable.

Generally, it is enough to observe meteor showers with naked eyes, and it is not necessary to carry telescopes and other equipment. When looking at the stars, you can generally look up at the stars in the most comfortable posture. It is most comfortable to lie on the lounge chair or directly lay a damp-proof mat on the floor.
